Students decided how the new $53,000 playground would look.
Tauhoa School has started the year on a wave of positivity and progress, despite the interruptions thrown up by seesawing lockdown levels.
The tiny rural school just off State Highway 16 has a new school emblem, new colours, new PE uniforms and a new $53,000 playground extension.
Principal Vivienne Goldsmith says the developments have given the school a whole new lease of life, and students have made important inputs in all areas, especially with the new playground.
